Name Origin
It's a combination of Nakano, which was the name of the town before it became part of Sendai city, and Sakae, which is the name of the area currently. The station was going to be called Nakano Station, but since there was already a JR East Nakano Station, the fused name was chosen over Rikuzen-Nakano.

Famous quotes containing the word origin:
“We have got rid of the fetish of the divine right of kings, and that slavery is of divine origin and authority. But the divine right of property has taken its place. The tendency plainly is towards ... “a government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich.””
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Someone had literally run to earth
In an old cellar hole in a byroad
The origin of all the family there.
Thence they were sprung, so numerous a tribe
That now not all the houses left in town
Made shift to shelter them without the help
Of here and there a tent in grove and orchard.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
